That happens to me pretty regularly when I install updates. I turn the Kindle off (push the sleep button to the right for about 7 seconds) (the screen will blank) then turn it on again (pull across the sleep tab and let go). That usually works. If it doesn't I do it again =).

If that doesn't work (rare), I restart the Kindle.

So far it's worked - just seems the Kindle needs a while to get used to it's new awesomeness and work out where everything is.

EDIT: Make sure you don't push the button to the right for more than 15 seconds as that will completely reset the Kindle which is a PITA. After 7 seconds the sleep button will flash, then just after that the screen will go blank. Stop pushing across the button. =) Easy - but just thought I should make things clear.
